Tintin is awesome!
Though she isn't Belgian, I'm proud of the fact that Audrey Hepburn was born here XD.

Don't underestimate Tintin. He's the man.

Why does everyone like Tintin? He's annoying... like many Belgian comic book heroes -_-'
Give me mangas any day, in most cases the art skillz are way better, and the plots more interesting...

How 'bout reading a book? Plenty of good Dutch/Belgian writers to enjoy.

I'm Irish and proud of Guinness, Irish rugby team, Irish music, Potatoes!! and our Language!!

I love Guinness, especially the kind they only sell in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg (I believe it's Guinness special export extra stout or something like that). Plus Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore are all Irish (although Gary's from the northern part) so plenty to be proud of methinks.

Haha, I don't like most manga (don't get me wrong, I love some too!) because I find the art style is awfully repetitive and often the plots too. In my opinion Tintin is one of the best things that's ever come out of Belgium. Every time I read them I find new layers in the humour that I didn't see before, it's awesome.

Ooh agreed. *studies Dutch and English literature*

- Jarno Hams (just google him  ;D)
- Ad van den Berg (aka Adrian Vandenberg, ex-Whitesnake guitarist. Played in lots of other bands too)
- Vengeance (80s hard rock band)
- Harry Mulisch (writer)
- FEBO (best fastfood in the world)
- Feyenoord (soccer club)

That's about it I think.

I'm Canadian and... uh... we got Rush... *cough*

Really though, the fact that we're such a small country (people wise; 33 million sounds like a big number, but people wise, it's pretty small) and have been able to make a signifigant impact in medical science, world affairs, sports and entertainment is something I'm proud of. And our booze is good too!

Awesome! I wish I could travel outside the country more often (my lifetime average at the moment is once a decade) so I could be asked those questions.  :D

Seeing Martin Luther King, Jr's dream is very much alive and still going strong.  And knowing our new President's Inauguration was watched world wide!
